call your congress people and tell them to put some teeth behind the do not call farce. These people should all be serving very long prison sentences

I called this number back which my caller id said was from New York, NY..  A recording answered saying press 2 to be removed from their caller list.

Called 8 times today

Caller didn't leave a message on my machine and the caller id said "Out of Area" which probably means telemarketer/scammer since every legitimate caller I know leaves a message. So I ran 3 reverse traces using 3 different types of traces and all were blocked for a person or business name and the only information was 2 general locations of New York City Zone 9 and Astoria, New York using 3 service providers of Level 3 Communications LLC-NY , Verizon New York and Paetec Communications Inc.-NY which are all used by scammers. This is definitely a scammer that is either spoofing numbers and/or using a Voip system while phishing for personal information and running some scam ( i.e. IRS lawsuit, Free Back Brace thru Medicare etc. ). A legitimate business would never hide their identity and location from the public by blocking a trace. DON'T ANSWER AND DO NOT CALL BACK FOR ANY REASON. Block and report to the proper authorities. Phone companies should be held responsible for these types of calls since they are making money from them by providing the systems and services that these scammers use and possibly farming out numbers too.

I often look on this website to see who has called for curiosity sake.  I do not answer any calls from area codes I do not recognize.
Often people do answer and report who the scammers are and what they want.
